Face of the Day (20 March 2015)

We made it through another week, YAY!  😆 I’ve been doing these Face of the Day posts for about a year now, but I don’t think I’ve ever featured my “signature” look. I’ve worn this shadow combo on and off for years, it’s my go-to on days when I’m not quite sure what products to reach for. It’s quick and easy, and it works great for work or a fun night out!

EYES…To start this look I always lay down a champagne base, like Bikini-tini from Benefit. It gives my shadows an extra boost of color and helps lock them in place. From the Too Faced Natural Eye Palette, I place Silk Teddy on the lids, Push-Up in the crease and Cocoa Puff in the outer corner. Keeping the lid light, and the outer corners dark, is a great way to make your eyes look larger. For casual days, I usually skip falsies, but for today I cut some Ardell Demi 101’s to create half lashes.

FACE…My favorite way to achieve a flawless complexion is with the Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream. It covers everything for a smooth airbrushed finish, and it lasts all day without turning oily. It’s pricey, but so worth it!

CHEEKS…To lightly contour, I used a Pop Beauty bronzer, then I applied Burberry Tangerine to the apples of my cheeks. It’s hard to see in the photos above, because my ring light can wash out my cheek colors, but here is a shot with my ring light turned down. The Burberry blush is stunning and one of my favorites!

LIPS…It wouldn’t be my signature look without a nude pink lip! I try to branch out and try reds or corals, and I always go back to my trusty nudes. Here, I’m wearing Bitch Perfect from Charlotte Tilburry…and it’s definitely perfect!

I’ve worn this combo (silk teddy, push-up, and cocoa puff) so many times that I finished all three shadows in the original Natural Eye Palette, and had to repurchase a new one – that’s definitely an accomplishment!  😆 Sadly, the newer palettes don’t feature Cocoa Puff anymore, but the shade that replaced it looks almost identical.
